Vancouver Island, BC result is out! I am an IEN and I passed, thanks to all who regularly post valuable information in this site.....

Hi Gracie08, it took 4 months for me to get the CRNBC eligibility....

gracie08, your on the right track, i also search and sent application through the website of health match BC. However, i learned that you must have eligibility first from CRNBC before they will consider you. i suggest you contact them again once you have the letter of eligibility.....

5scats, yes I already have the job offer. Everything seems to be in place: LMO, job offer, TWP filing last march 23, medical done end of May, temporary registry from CRNBC granted, except for the visa issuance. I am just concerned coz a friend came from UK and informed that some were on hold by canada embassy this June even after the medical. Though those involved were applying in alberta. I am wondering if the affected area is only alberta or may involve all territories. Few friends also in Phils are on hold right now but again, the application is in alberta. Hope BC and other territories is still on the go...

Fiona, well noted, it should be read as provinces/territory. Anyway if you have any idea, how long normally the visa will be issued after the medical exam. I took the medical exam last May 28 and 29, sent my last pending documents to Canadian embassy last June 09 but until now I did not hear any news. How long normally for the embassy to send the visa after medical? I'm in the last stage of processing, documents and medical done.... Also, Silverdragon if you are reading, do you have any info for this?

Fiona, thanks for the reply. I am actually processing in BC, hope its not affected by the recession.

Hi Vincnet777, Wondering, when did you have your medical exam? it seems some states/territories are holding the visa now in particular Alberta, even if they have medical)

Anyone got a clearer view of the status of IEN applying for TWP? I am IEN from the Philippines and it seems that no visa (TWP) released lately by the embassy. In particular Alberta, the health care is being reorganized and I learned few applicant were on hold (one even completed the medical, waiting in UK). I am actually applying in BC and wondering if it affects all other states/territories. Anyone received the TWP lately?

Vinc, When did you have your medical? How long should one receive the visa after medical? Is it true that canada is in recession or reorganizing the healthcare and Canadian embassy is holding the visas (TWP)?
